Vintage French Cafe Menu Chalkboard

The secret to getting a quick French Menu is that there isn't one. Unless you already have a photograph of one from a previous trip. I don't, so, with the help of Google (and some pretty intermediate French skills) it took me at the least 2 hours before...

I could actually find an image of a sign that was:

Actually from France

An image with prices in euros

A site with different types of correctly worded french drinks

A few different types of pastries that could be sold in a french cafe

A chalkboard design that fits with my kitchen

Honestly, it was worth all of the research. I love that it's not perfect and it's just written out as if it could actually be in shop somewhere. Conveniently I have ridiculously loopy handwriting. Probably from the many years I spent copying my mom's letters and grocery lists.

What you need:

A Chalkboard

Chalk

Loopy Handwriting

It's that simple and fun. Come sit down at my little cafe and watch the cars go by and the people out on their evening walks!
